Three new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_proxy.py:
- xai_adapter_retry_rotates_pool_entry_on_429 — headline #28932 case.
Two-entry pool, 429 on first entry, must rotate to second entry
AND must NOT call refresh_xai_oauth_pure (refresh is irrelevant
for rate limits).
- xai_adapter_retry_returns_none_on_429_when_pool_exhausted —
single-entry pool: 429 returns None so the rate-limit response
flows back to the client unchanged (existing behavior preserved).
- xai_adapter_retry_returns_none_for_unrelated_status — non-{401,
429} statuses must not trigger any retry path at all; guards
against the gate becoming too broad in future changes.
Each test asserts that refresh_xai_oauth_pure is never called on the
429 path — refresh is a 401-specific concern.
39/39 in tests/hermes_cli/test_proxy.py.
'hermes login' was removed (the command now just prints a deprecation
message and exits). The bundled hermes-agent SKILL.md, in-code error
messages, the tip rotation, the proxy adapters, and the docs site
still pointed agents and users at the dead command — so models loading
the skill kept running 'hermes login --provider openai-codex' and
getting a dead-end print.
Replacements use the canonical 'hermes auth add <provider>' surface
(or bare 'hermes auth' for the interactive manager).

'hermes logout' is still a live command and is left untouched.
The 'hermes login' stub in hermes_cli/auth.py:login_command() and
the cli-commands.md 'Deprecated' rows are intentionally kept as
the discoverable deprecation surface.
Quarantine Nous OAuth state when refresh fails with terminal invalid_grant/invalid_token errors. Clear local and shared refresh material across runtime, managed access-token, proxy, and credential-pool paths so Hermes stops retrying revoked refresh sessions.
Adds 'hermes proxy start' — a local HTTP server that lets external apps
(OpenViking, Karakeep, Open WebUI, ...) use a Hermes-managed provider
subscription as their LLM endpoint. The proxy attaches the user's real
OAuth-resolved credentials to each forwarded request, refreshing them
automatically; the client can send any bearer (it gets stripped).
Ships with one adapter — Nous Portal. The UpstreamAdapter ABC and
registry in hermes_cli/proxy/adapters/ are designed for additional
OAuth providers to plug in by name without server changes.
Commands:
hermes proxy start [--provider nous] [--host 127.0.0.1] [--port 8645]
hermes proxy status
hermes proxy providers
Allowed Portal paths: /v1/chat/completions, /v1/completions,
/v1/embeddings, /v1/models. Anything else returns 404 with a clear
error pointing at the allowed list.
aiohttp is gated like gateway/platforms/api_server.py (try-import,
clean runtime error if missing). No new core dependency.
Tests: 24 unit tests + 1 separate E2E that spawns the real subprocess
and verifies the upstream receives the right bearer with the client's
header stripped.
